They buy products from each other, and shut out more and more people if society.

You see the homeless drug addict on the street? They want more of that.

That’s just the usual routine of externalising costs while extracting benefits, maybe it’s just a very blatant example.

One way to do that, and no joke, is to start up and participate in local barter economies.

A bunch of places I’ve lived in, especially with a large student population, would have communities where people who have surpluses of something, extra food, old furniture, can give it to people who need them.

Ask yourself the question, what can you do to fulfill a need while preempting consumption, and you have an answer.

I guess it makes coreutils vulnerable to EEE. Corps with significant stakes in Linux would be able to extend the API with proprietary functions, build ecosystems on top of that, and lock out independent development.

Imagine being unable to distribute a Linux based OS that is compatible with most of the world without proprietary age verification built in for example.

Great read, I rarely find an opinion article that has substance and is not just random drivel and ragebait.

Thanks for sharing

SPAs were a mistake.

I actually did an experiment on doing just that. For context, I’m an experienced software engineer, whose company buys him a tom of Claude usage so I had time to test out what it can actually do and I feel like I’m capable of judging where it’s good and where it falls short at.

How Claude Code works is that there are actually multiple models involved, one for doign the coding, one “reasoning” model to keep the chain of thought and the context going, and a bunch of small specialized ones for odd jobs around the thing.

The thing that doesn’t work yet is that the big reasoning model has to still be big, otherwise it will hallucinate frequently enough to break the workflow. If you could get one of the big models to run locally, you’d be there. However, with recent advances in quantization and MoE models, it’s actually getting nearer fast enough that I would expect it to be generally available in a year or two.

Today the best I could do was a tool that could take 150 gigs of RAM, 24 gigs of VRAM and AMD’s top of the line card to take 30 minutes what takes Claude Code 1-2. But surprisingly, the output of the model was not bad at all.

Standard TLS, I think, but what else would you need?

In Nginx you can do rewrites so services think they are at the root.

In my experience it’s not about writing the prompt, it’s refusing 4 out of 5 changes with additional info to refine it.

The problem is that if you don’t know what the not should be doing, one random error it does is enough to then make it into the context and propagate everywhere.

The EU does not oversee education, it’s usually a member state or even lower level responsibility.

Nah, cookie banners are a malicious compliance tactic adopted by the advertising industry after they got told they can’t surveil the whole of the internet without consent.

The bureaucrats are actually hard at work to get rid of cookie banners in the very near future, making it obligatory to follow an in browser setting. You click decline once on install, and that’s it is the plan.

Yeah that shit is more common than people think.

A big part of the business of cloud providers is that most orgs have no idea how to do shit. Their enterprise consultants are also wildly variable in competence.

There was also a large amount of useless bullshit that I needed to cut down since being hired at my current spot, but the amount of containers is actually warranted. We do have that traffic, which is both happy and sad, since while business is booming, I have to deal with this.

I know using work as an example is cheating, but around 1400-1500 to 5000-6000 depending on load throughout the day.

At home it’s 12.

I mean if they are going to be doing model collapse, might as well go full throttle

The people who would be okay with this already don’t own computers, they go with a phone.

I felt exactly the same way with (combat) flight sims.

Without VR, a lot of it was practicing maneuvers and attitudes as the target or the airfield would be out of my view most of the time. With VR, it just feels right, you can just keep the target in sight and move yourself into position. Your sense of distance and attitude is also 100% better. I can fly altitudes better, dogfight much better and so on.

You also get a much better sense of the whole plane, how big it is, how it moves around, and it also is tons more immersive. I can do 2 hour flights without getting bored easy in VR - not that you don’t get hella tired from that.

You could be more supportive. Men have issues specifically hurting them too, and not dismissing that fact won’t make women’s issues less relevant.

Could we just be more supportive to each other?

US style open corruption is illegal in the UK and the EU isn’t it?

That said I don’t trust them, I’m just saying if we want to rail against the thing, we should know exactly what the thing is.
